Page 6: Important Notice
This following important information must be read and understood by all users of Cygnus ultrasonic thickness gauges. The correct use of Cygnus ultrasonic thickness gauges requires identification of the correct equipment for the specific application coupled with an appropriately trained and qualified operator or technician. -
Page 7: Introduction
The Gauge is able to operate accurately in adverse environmental conditions. The Gauge is a solid-state electronic instrument which, under normal operating conditions, will give many years of active service. To connect the TSR the Cygnus UW gauge must have an integral Impulse Connector fitted. - Page 8 Cygnus UW-TSR Operation Manual M4-CYG1UW-TSR-M-ENG_Iss11.docx Although designed for ease of operation first time users should carefully read this manual to familiarise themselves with the features of the Gauge...

Page 9: Multiple Echo Measurements
Cygnus UW-TSR Operating Manual M4-CYG1UW-TSR-M-ENG_Iss11.docx Multiple Echo Measurements The Gauge works on the pulse-echo principle. The Probe transmits a very short pulse of ultrasound which enters the test piece. The Probe then acts as a receiver listening for return echoes,... - Page 10 Cygnus UW-TSR Operation Manual M4-CYG1UW-TSR-M-ENG_Iss11.docx echoes provide a reliable method of signal verification. This process is referred to as Triple Echo Verification.
